Assuming:

A) your goal is to reach 8-figure net worth within 7-8 years

B) you’re willing to work your ass off (obviously!)

C) you’re able to be one of the best out there AND adapt to new technology

In other words: with the above criteria and a strong desire to learn and apply a valuable analytical skill set as you become an entrepreneur, is accounting a particularly good choice?

Hot takes welcome!

    Life is too short to do a work that pays but isn’t fulfilling. You can make money in a million ways in 2023

      This is a message that strikes deep because it would be amazing if it were always practical… It’s very difficult to make much money in the areas that fulfill me without advanced degrees, however. And money is practical. Accounting wouldn’t be the end goal but the means to then pursue fulfilling work and study with absolutely freedom to do so unencumbered by financial poverty. All in all, I also believe that success in business itself would make the game of business rather fulfilling.
